Legendary country music band Alabama is taking its string of 43 number one singles to the high seas for the first time later this year.

Music cruise organizer Sixthman this week announced that the chart-topping group will headline a four-night cruise setting sail from Miami on Oct. 24.

The Alabama & Friends Festival at Sea, as it's being called, will take place on the 2,394-passenger Norwegian Pearl and include stops at Nassau in the Bahamas and Norwegian Cruise Line private island Great Stirrup Cay.

Sixthman says passengers will experience two outdoor concerts from the full Alabama band during the cruise on the decks of the ship as well as performances from each of the individual band members.

In addition, Alabama will be hosting more than a dozen other music acts on the vessel. Passengers also will receive one cruise poster per cabin autographed by Alabama, and they'll also have a chance to take pictures with the band.

Sixthman says Alabama fans can sign up for a pre-sale of cabins at alabamafestivalatsea.com. Cabins will go on sale to the public on March 20.

"I'm looking forward to enjoying my very first cruise!" founding Alabama member Teddy Gentry says in a statement accompanying the announcement. "We have some exciting things in-store for the fans and look forward to making this a lifetime memory for everyone onboard."

Gentry also noted that he's bringing his extra large belt, "because I hear the food is great."
